Features: This book provides a detailed discussion on the key devices in computer networks—switches and routers, introducing their common functions and the configuration methods to implement these functions. All examples in the book are derived from the actual configurations of Cisco Catalyst 2900 series switches and Cisco 2600 series routers. Emphasis on experiments is one of the distinctive features of this book. The book is divided into 12 chapters. The first three chapters cover the switch section, discussing the role of switches, basic configuration, broadcast storms and suppression, Spanning Tree Protocol, and VLAN configuration, among others. The last nine chapters cover the router section, focusing on the main content of router configuration, including static IP routing and dynamic IP routing configuration, NAT configuration, WAN protocol configuration, remote access configuration, virtual private network configuration, IP voice technology, route hot backup technology, and IP access control lists, user authentication, and firewall configuration, among others. This book can be used as a textbook or teaching reference for the courses "Intranet Architecture" and "Computer Network Devices" in higher vocational colleges, technical colleges, and secondary specialized schools for computer network majors. It is also suitable for readers learning switch and router technologies.
